Genetic landscape of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto in Canada: a study of genetic diversity. [PDF]

Sci Rep
Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto (s.s.), the causative agent of Lyme disease in North America, exhibits considerable genetic diversity. In order to gauge rates of recombination and the degree of geographically structuring within the population we ...

Passerine birds as hosts for Ixodes ticks infected with Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto in southeastern Virginia. [PDF]

Ticks Tick Borne Dis, 2021
The ecology of vector-borne diseases in a region can be attributed to vector-host interactions. In the United States, tick-borne pathogens are the cause of the highest number of reported vector-borne diseases.

Delineation of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, Borrelia garinii sp. nov., and group VS461 associated with Lyme borreliosis. [PDF]

International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology, 1992
We studied 48 Borrelia isolates that were associated with Lyme borreliosis or were isolated from ticks and identified three DNA relatedness groups by using the S1 nuclease method. The three DNA groups (genospecies) were associated with specific rRNA gene restriction patterns, protein electrophoresis patterns, and patterns of reactivity with murine ...

Correlation of plasmids with infectivity of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto type strain B31 [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1996
The correlation of plasmid profiles with infectivity was investigated by using five clones of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto strain B31 (ATCC 35210). Plasmid profiles were determined by pulsed-field and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. The 50% infectious dose (ID50) in hamsters was determined.

Comparison of Growth of Borrelia afzelii, Borrelia garinii, and Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Stricto at Five Different Temperatures. [PDF]

PLoS One, 2016
Lyme borreliosis is caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, a fastidious bacterium that replicates slowly and requires special conditions to grow in the laboratory.

Stable Transmission of Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Stricto on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. [PDF]

Zoonoses Public Health, 2017
SummaryThe spirochaete (Borrelia burgdorferi) associated with Lyme disease was detected in questing ticks and rodents during a period of 18 years, 1991–2009, at five locations on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The black‐legged tick (Ixodes scapularis) was collected at varied intervals between 1991 and 2009 and examined for B. burgdorferi. The white‐

Closely-related Borrelia burgdorferi (sensu stricto) strains exhibit similar fitness in single infections and asymmetric competition in multiple infections [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2017
Wild hosts are commonly co-infected with complex, genetically diverse, pathogen communities. Competition is expected between genetically or ecologically similar pathogen strains which may influence patterns of coexistence.

Changes in the prevalence of three disease-causing pathogens in bird-borne blacklegged ticks: Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, Anaplasma phagocytophilum, and Babesia microti

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, Anaplasma phagocytophilum, and Babesia microti are common tick-borne pathogens of medical and veterinary concern in the United States and are transmitted by the blacklegged tick (Ixodes scapularis). The range expansion

Host-utilization differences between larval and nymphal deer ticks in northeastern U.S. sites enzootic for Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto. [PDF]

Ticks Tick Borne Dis, 2023
In the northeastern U.S., Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, the agent of Lyme disease, is maintained between vertebrate hosts and subadult deer ticks (the northern clade of Ixodes scapularis, formerly known as Ixodes dammini).

Deer management generally reduces densities of nymphal Ixodes scapularis, but not prevalence of infection with Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto. [PDF]

Ticks Tick Borne Dis, 2023
Human Lyme disease–primarily caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto (s.s.) in North America–is the most common vector-borne disease in the United States.
